The spacious hall remained quiet. Amused, Alyssa blinked and smiled.
Jasper was cheered up by the animated look on her face and put behind the pain he was enduring. He fixed his eyes on her with a contented smile.
In the meantime, a hushed astonishment gripped the onlookers as they watched Newton berating the current patriarch, Javier, in their presence. The public scolding was doubly humiliating, given Javier's prominent social standing.
He had turned into a punchbag.
Javier, nursing a wounded ego, flushed with anger and hissed, "Barry, please get everyone to leave the hall."
"No! No one is allowed to leave before we settle this matter once and for all!" Newton declared with authority. When she was angry, Alyssa bore a striking resemblance to Newton, as if they were blood relatives.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Javier inquired, his brows furrowing in anger.
"It means exactly what you think it is!" Newton responded, his eyes half-closed as he taunted his son, "If you can bruise Jasper's ego by hitting him in front of everyone, I don't see why I can't address this matter publicly."
Javier pointed at Jasper and argued, "Dad, you can't always side with this little brat! You'll only spoil him further! He's been pampered to the point where he no longer respects anyone in this family. If this continues, he won't even heed his father one day!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
